Re: HERE Maps has been sold

While the number of OpenStreetMap users is smaller than the number of Google Maps users, don't assume that it is less complete and that contributions are of low quality. OSM is edited not just by...

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed

To ascribe the ruin of Nokia to Americans is somewhat fair. While Elop is Canadian and the company’s management counted many Finns, both had to answer to Nokia’s shareholders, and among those large...

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

That article explains that YouTube will no longer be accessible to old appliances that no longer receive updates. CuteTube has an active maintainer, so it can keep up with YouTube API changes.

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

endsormeans, the point of your posting that article isn’t clear. Many of the author’s complaints would apply to the Neo900, as it will inherit much of the obsolescence of the N900.

And I think you...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

A year ago I definitely would have ordered this device, even with the ~700€ price tag. But with all the delays (and while you’ve announced a webshop, you are still not actually selling this product),...

Re: How do I install a development environment for N900?
